[All] [Generic] Name of a tool

[Shmed]

I need a tool that I think exists, and if it doesn't, it should.

My turbo oil return (GT3076) needs tightening so I need a half cut away deep socket that will go 'around' the AN line, if you know what I mean. I'm not sure of the size socket I need, but just thought I'd see if anyone knows if they exist - kinda like a spark plug remover I think that goes round the lead...

[Quigonjay]

they do exist yes, dont know if they have a specific name though
remember using one on an o2 sensor which was obviously quite a large socket
what size approximately do you need?
dont think they come in small sizes but could be wrong

i'M THINKING IT IS ABOUT 19MM, MAYBE MORE, AND NOW YOU SAY IT, LAMBDA IS WHAT i MEANT WHEN i SAID SPARK PLUG. i THINK THAT'S WHAT i'M AFTER

Is he Irish? no offence, just some ligh heartedness )

You need what is known as a Lambda socket.

It's basically long socket in a C shape so the wire protudes out the side and you put your wrench bit in the top as you can't disconnect the wire from the sensor

Think of a spark plug socket with the side cut out about 2-3mm

Halfrauds do them cheap enough or you can just use a spanner. if there is room.

Got back under the car the other day, and realised if I just removed the downpipe, I could use a spanner! What a spanner
